“…This is in line with previous research, which found that Indonesian students have low literacy and numeracy skills, which has an impact on their low critical thinking skills (Anisa et al, 2021;Sihaloho et al, 2019). One of the factors that contribute to poor learning outcomes is the literacy-based evaluation model used in learning (Wahab, 2023). Until now, AN only assessed students' abilities in literacy and numeracy.…”

Objective: This study's preliminary goal is to describe junior high school students' proficiency in scientific literacy. It is based on exams that use questions that measure a student's proficiency in scientific literacy, adhering to the guidelines established by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Method: The research was a quantitative descriptive analysis. It used a list of 20 questions created to evaluate students' proficiency with scientific literacy using a set of predetermined indicators. Purposive sampling was used to gather the data, and 102 students were chosen as a sample from Junior High School 2 Sukorejo. Results: Based on research findings, 19 of the 102 students meet the criteria for scientific literacy skill level 4, the highest level. Additionally, 38 students meet the criteria for level 3 of scientific literacy, which needs to be improved. Furthermore, 45 students continue to meet the low criteria for level 2 scientific literacy skills. According to the findings of this study, future research efforts and increased attention from relevant teachers are required to concentrate more on improving students' scientific literacy skills. Novelty: The novelty of this research explores students' scientific literacy levels using a science literacy test focusing on context, competencies, and knowledge. It provides a comprehensive understanding of students' scientific literacy skills, moving beyond quantitative percentages. The detailed explanation will be valuable for future research and provide deeper insights into the subject matter.

“…PISA specifically addresses several dimensions or areas of measurement related to scientific literacy. Wahab (2023) stated that scientific literacy is considered an ability that students must have in the 21st era. Scientific literacy is essential in solving scientific problems (Pakpahan, 2022).…”

“…For example, Mukti et al (2019) noted that senior high school students were still in the development stage during this period. According to Wahab et al (2023), 62 out of 102 students had deficiencies in scientific literacy. A study by Adnan et al (2021) found that South Sulawesi Junior High School biology students displayed poor scientific literacy skills.…”

In recent years, educational reforms have made scientific literacy a major priority because of its increasing importance in today’s dynamic world. Program for international student assessment 2015 evaluated scientific literacy from 72 countries, and Lebanon ranked 65th. Scientific literacy levels among Lebanese secondary school students and gender differences are unknown. This study fills this research gap. A total of 130 students from Lebanon’s private secondary schools were involved in this research. Scientific literacy levels were assessed using an instrument developed by Gormally et al. (2012), who conceptualized nine science competencies contributing to scientific literacy including understanding research designs, creating and interpreting graphs, and solving quantitative problems. Welch’s ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze the data. Lebanese secondary school students have very low scientific literacy levels, and no significant difference was observed between genders. We present recommendations for adding desired skills to the curriculum based on a review of the underlying factors.

Objective: This research aims to describe and analyze the scientific literacy achievements of prospective science teacher students. Scientific literacy is one of the skills that prospective science teacher students must master to promote scientific literacy at the primary and secondary education levels. Method: This research is a quantitative descriptive research. Data was collected using a purposive sampling technique so that a sample of 65 students from the Bachelor of Science Education Study Program at Ganesha University of Education was obtained. The research instrument used was the Test of Scientific Literacy Skills (TOSLS) which consisted of 28 multiple-choice questions. This research is a preliminary study of research and development (R&D) of innovative science learning models to increase students' scientific literacy. Results: The results of the research show that the literacy achievement of prospective science teacher students is very low with the scientific literacy achievement in the aspect of identifying and assessing inquiry methods that contribute to scientific knowledge at very low and the aspect of compiling, analyzing, and understanding quantitative data and scientific information of very low. Novelty: This research provides an overview of the scientific literacy achievements of prospective science teacher students which can be used as a basis for developing innovative science learning models to increase the scientific literacy of prospective science teacher students.
